Maddie's POV

I passed Hunter and Chris and ran upstairs to my room. I slammed the door and went to my bed and started drowning in my tears.

I wiped my tears away once and put both of my hands under my head. I heard a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" Chris asked.

Typical Maddie, I push people away.

"Go away Chris!" I yelled.

He came in anyways and shut the door behind him. He walked to my bed and wiped one of my tears away with his thumb. "What's going on?"

"You..Were..Right.." I said in between sobs. I sat up and he put his arms around me and pulled me closer. See, this is what makes me remember him. Reliving the time before the crash, when I would be jealous of him around other girls and how he holds me close to comfort me.

"Right about what?"

"Matt.. He doesn't like me.. I caught him.. sleeping with Audrey.. I dont even know who I have anymore.."

"You have me." He said. Even though I was still highly upset about Matt, Chris, (aka Ape Boy) made me feel like nobody else on this world mattered.

Chris's POV

I know what I said at the party. I just can't stand seeing her cry, whether she was Skunk Girl or not. I ran my fingers through her hair and just stared through the window with her in my arms.

"Everything's gonna be okay, Maddie."

"Thanks Ape Boy.... Hey, um.."

"What's up?"

"I was wondering maybe if you wanted to go out sometime, yunno, start over?"

I let her go. If I was going to tell her, now was the time. "Mads... I'm dating emily."

Silence.

"B-but I'd love to start over."

"Yeah."

Maddie's POV

I swear, last night was the most awkwardest, most infuriating day of my life. I decided to have a Maddie-day and go to the park to play the guitar and write songs.

I headed to the park with the guitar strapped behind me. It was a beautiful day in Canada. Breezes at about 8 mph, sun shining south. I sat under my favorite tree and started to strum a tune from "I Never Told You" by Colbie Caillat.

I related to that song on so many different levels. I never told Chris how I really felt about him, and now I regret never saying anything. I started to sing with my chords.

"But I never told you, what I should have said. No I never told you, I just held it in. And now I miss everything about you. I can't believe that I still want you. After all the things we've been through.. I miss everything about you.."

I tilted my head back against the tree and sighed.

"You sang really well."

I jumped. "Jesus have you been standing there the whole time?"

"Pretty much, yeah." he smiled. "Mind if I join?"

I scanned him first. He had dark brown hair, the same color of his eyes. He was wearing a Hollister muscle tee and cargo pants. To top it off he had pretty decent sandals. I laughed, "Sure."
